Well, we're back and we're going to take you back to the stage with the [G] Highwaymen, Willie, Johnny, [A] Waylon and Chris.
I'm not a [D] firefighter, [G] but I am still [A] alive.
[Bm] And I was [A] a sailor, and I [G] was born upon [Bm] the tide,
[A] and with [G] the sea [D] I did [A] abide.
[Em] And I sailed [Bm] a schooner round [Am] the horn to [G] Mexico.
[A] [Em] I went [Bm] aloft to curl [A] the mainsail in a [G] glow.
[Bm] And when [A] the yards broke off, [G] they [D] say that I got killed, [G] but I am living [A] still.
Yes, I am.
[B] I [A] was a dam builder [G] across a river [Bm] deep and wild, [A] where [G] skin and [D] water built a [A] lie.
[Em] A [Bm] place called Boulder [A] on the wild [G] Colorado, [Em] I [Bm] slipped and fell into [A] the wet [G] concrete below.
[Bm] They [A] buried me in [G] that great [A] tomb that [D] knows no sound, [G] but I'm [A] still around.
I'll always [D] be [A] around and around and [Bm] around [D] and [G] around and around.
[D] [Em]
I'll [G] [A] [D]
[Bm] fly a [A] starship [C] across the [Bm] universe divine, [A] and [G] when I [D] reach [A] the other side,
[Em] I'll [Bm] find a place to [A] rest my spirit [G] if I can.
[E]
[Bm] Perhaps I may [A] become a [G] highwayman again,
[Bm] or [A] I may simply [G] be a [A] single [Em] drop of [D] rain.
[G] But I will [A] remain, and I'll [D] come back again, [A] and again, [Bm] and again, [D] and again, [G] and again, [F#] and again, [Em] and again.
